For Sale: 1971 Chevrolet Camaro in Lithia Springs, Georgia

If you're going to paint a coupe this shade of metallic orange, you better be prepared for two things: all eyes to be on you and have the power to back up your boldness. That's why we say this 1971 Chevrolet Camaro really knows how to do it right.

The color you can't take your eyes off is called Orange Crush. It has a deep metallic element that radiates in the sunshine and tells you it's a quality application. We like how this one gives us the feeling of colors like Classic Copper that was available in 1971, but at the same time, you also know this is a modern application. So it's bold while still keeping an eye on history. After all, this is a terrific classic coupe, and it celebrates that in the details, like the bright chrome bumpers and the big rear spoiler that aggressively cuts into the Camaro's sleek lines. And we also love how this one has a well-coordinated dark side. It's in the SS grille and 15-inch wheels. Plus, those Z/28-style racing stripes are cleared over so that they look smooth against the paint and cowl hood.

The interior is the right mix of stock components and upgrades to focus all your attention on performance. The high-back bucket seats, door panels, dash, carpeting, and headliner create an attractive full black appearance that gets right down to business. Your left hand will love the black and chrome sports steering wheel that's on a tilt column, and your right one rests comfortably on the B&M performance shifter. And the wraparound dash panel is now full of AutoMeter Phantom gauges including a large speedo and tach.

We love an engine bay with smooth inner walls and a hardy big block at the center. This 454 cubic-inch V8 has been made for power and we have the cam car and rebuilt receipt to prove it. Plus, you can spot the Holley double-pumper four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock mid-rise intake, and long tube headers feeding the Flowmaster dual exhaust. You'll even spot good supporting components like an Optima red top battery and a large Griffin aluminum radiator w/electric fans. The three-speed automatic transmission has a 3500 stall to keep you in the powerband. But while this is powerful, it's also quite streetable. Especially because you have power steering, power brakes w/discs upfront, and wide BF Goodrich T/As for a great all-around package.

This Camaro has the bold looks and big power you've been after for so long. Don't let it slip away, call today!
